I havent seen any real reviews on the Winning fg-2900 headgear so i thought i would give an indepth review. The reason i decided on the FG-2900 is 7 weeks ago i sustained a facial fracture (interier maxillary wall) shooting a crappy double on the inside and took a solid knee, I was even wearing headgear, original fairtex to be exact. So I needed extra protection around that area and besides going with a full face headgear with bar across the facial area i decided on the FG-2900.
Ordering, ordered through winning usa website on saturday morning and recieved it on Monday (too Oregon). I was always in contact with Hayashi through email and he responded within 12-24 hours. Customer service was top notch.
Sizing, I originally bought a medium (23" Head circumference at brow level) but it turned out it was a tad to small even though there is a great range of fittiment with the laces on the back, it was just slightly to much of the back of the head exposed when worn so I exchanged it for a Large which fits perfect. Contacted Hayashi and sent it back and recieved the Large a few days later.
Performance, Last week I got some rounds in first time sparring in 6 weeks so didnt have much gas in the tank lasted only 3, 3 min rounds. I took some solid shots and they didnt hurt me nearly half as bad with my old headgear, have to be carefull to move your head still cuz this baby can absorb some damage. The fg-2900 headgear also stayed put didnt require any adjustment when sparring. After sparring with my old headgear my head would hurt for 3 days or so, not with the FG-2900 didnt have any headaches or pains at all and my fractured area felt perfectly fine.
Price, now the only thing that would steer people away from this fineheadgear is the price at $171+shipping not to many people want to spend that much on headgear, but in my opinion it is money well spent. Does this headgear from picking it up look like it should cost $171 dollars no, but when you spar with it on yes it is worth it.
Customer service 10/10 always responded to my emails promptly.
Performance/Fit 10/10 absorbs heavy shots no problem.
Price 3/10 at $171+shipping only the winning full face headgear is more expensize at around $300.
